Big name absentees?
Thomas Tuchel isn’t afraid to spring surprises as shown when he recalled Marcus Rashford for the first camp of the year following the winger’s resurgence at Aston Villa.
Some decisions may be out of his hands though as Rashford is currently nursing a hamstring injury and Manchester City’s Phil Foden hopes to fully recover from an ankle issue.
Neither is expected to be in the squad and there could be other big name omissions if players do not fit into Tuchel’s plans.
